Abstract: A detector for detecting the removal and/or insertion of a weapon out of and/or into a holster. The detector may transmit a message each time the weapon is removed from the holster. A recording system may receive the message and determine whether or not it will begin recording the data it captures. A detector may detect the change in a magnitude of an inductance and/or an impedance of a circuit to detect insertion and removal of the weapon into and out of the holster. The holster is configured to couple to the detector to position the detector to detect insertion and removal of the weapon. An adhesive tape may couple a detector to a holster.

Abstract: A cloud-based modeler component that generates interactive models of an industrial automation system(s) (IAS(s)) is presented. An interactive model facilitates remote viewing of, interaction with, troubleshooting of problems with, or optimization of industrial assets of an IAS. The modeler component polls industrial assets via cloud gateways to obtain information relating to the industrial assets to identify industrial assets of the IAS and relationships with other industrial assets or can receive information from a communication device that obtains information relating to legacy industrial assets to identify those legacy assets and their relationships. The modeler component generates an interactive model of the industrial assets of the IAS based on the information.

Abstract: A non woven fire blocking seat fabric particularly suited for aircraft applications is disclosed. The fabric is a nonwoven, multiplied flame resistant fabric comprised of at least two felted plies, each ply being further comprised of fibers selected from the group consisting of aramid fibers, polybenzimidazole fibers, and phenolic fibers, wherein the combined percentage by weight of said aramid and phenolic fibers is approximately 80% by weight of said felted ply with the aramid fibers being present in the range of about 10% to 60% and the phenolic fibers being present in the range of about 20% to 70%.; and the plies are united into a single fabric by fibers which are needled from the respective ply into the other ply. In the preferred fabric a stabilized woven scrim is positioned between the plies of the fabric. In the preferred fabric the scrim is of glass material.

Abstract: A heat resistant fabric is provided, preferably woven, and with an optional aluminized backing, the fabric being made from yarns having a core of flame and high heat resistant silica fibers covered by a layer of aramid fiber, or other heat resisting fibers, with or without blending with other fibers, the covering layer providing a cushion to increase abrasion resistance of the core while also providing a heat resistant covering for the core.

Abstract: A fire retardant which is suitable for use as a protective material in garments, clothing, fire curtains, barriers or screens is disclosed. The fabric employs an amorphous silica core having a minimum of 96% silica by chemical analysis. The core fiber is encapsulated in a wrapping or covering which may be of polybenzimidazole, aramids, blends of aramids with other fibers and/or polyacrylonitrile fibers or blends thereof. The core fiber and wrapping comprise a heat resistant yarn which may be woven into a heat resistant fabric which may then be aluminized on one or both sides thereof.

Abstract: The configuration consists of two antennae on the same mast. The upper anna is a ground plane capable of two frequency bands of operation. The lower antenna comprises a sleeve and radial elements.The upper antenna consists of four radials 36" long and an upper element. The two bands of operation covered by the upper antenna are 80 MHz and 150 MHz. Band selection is accomplished by selection of the correct upper mast element. This element is removable. A 34" long element is used for 80 MHz operation and a 14" long element for 150 MHz operation. This antenna is nondirectional and is used for transmitting.The lower antenna consists of four radials 22" long and an upper and lower sleeve. The radials are insulated from the mast and connected to the center conductor of the coax. The upper sleeve is a portion of this antenna and also isolates the antenna from the mast. The only use of the lower sleeve is to provide isolation of the antenna from the mast and coaxial cable.

Abstract: A direction coded digital stroke generator that allows arbitrary symbols to be defined in real time and in which these symbols consist of substantially an unlimited number of discrete segments. When interfaced with a memory source such as a digital computer the stroke generator provides highly flexible symbol generation capability at a relatively low cost in terms of memory requirements and with a relatively high writing speed. Each line segment is defined by four binary bits with three bits defining direction and one bit determining blanking. The three direction bits are decoded to control X and Y up/down counters orienting the segment in one of eight directions. A selectable segment length feature is provided allowing development of segments of selected lengths so that the symbols have a selected size and degree of detail.
